Well, since we’re just giving the money away anyways, why not give it to a public company rather than to rich shareholders and senior executives.

So, what you’re saying is we need a party of dicks fuck both the pussies and the assholes, before the pussies are covered in shit?

Or, hear me out, you could (at the federal level) direct the CMHC build public housing at 1970s levels, and/or (at the provincial level) put rent control back?

How far off of “We have to liberate Americans in Canada from tyrannical French-Canadian rule” are we?

I’m sorry, Harper talked about UBI and banking regulations? The right honourable Stephen Harper? The one who had to be dragged, kicking and screaming by his own caucus, to respond to the 2008 crisis with anything other than austerity?

That Harper?

Wow.

Canadian scientists went through this under Harper. We know what we’re up against.

God, I hope this forces the CPC to kick out the nuts and nominate someone like Chong or Charest.

…or, be still my heart, that the CPC will split and/or kick the Reformers out.

So we have money for this, but can’t build public housing. Right.

If oil is so profitable, let the oil companies foot the bill themselves.

The executive branch gets revenue from taxes, independent from congress.

The reason for tariffs is to have a source of funding he and his Project 2025 cronies control without oversight. Need to pay wages for the American Sturmabteilung? This is how you do it.

Technically they can’t dismantle USAID either.

A lot depends on the courts now.

Ford folded: after the tariff decision was paused (not cancelled, paused) dutifully restocked shelves and the overpaid StarLink deal is back on.

His “Canada is not For Sale” schtick is just that: a schtick. Mark my words, if Trump wanted to build housing on greenbelt land, Ford would Get It (Doug Ford) Done! He (Ford) is the most for-sale politician in the country, and that’s saying something when you’re competing with Danielle Smith.

Susan Holt in NB did a good job. American goods are still off the shelves.

My brother in Christ, have you read the NYT recently?

It’s pumping out what I dearly hope is satire every day

Is the intent to make Taiwan just roll over and invite China in?

Because it sure fucking looks like it.

Ah, did you work for a Volkswagen or General Motors supplier in the late 1990s and early 2000s?

Because I recall that exact situation, and the resulting crash of quality.

I’d vote for, eg, John Robarts. Maybe Bill Davis.

Fucking dipshit who doesn’t know what tariffs and trade deficits are continues to be ignorant. News at 11.

This is a “Not all conservatives are Nazis, but all Nazis are conservative” distinction.

Poillevre might not actually goosestep and wear a snappy-looking black Hugo Boss uniform and make undesirable people into soap while stealing their gold teeth, but people who do those things vote for Poillevre and give him money.

Conversely, people who vote for Singh…don’t.

I’m not voting for the conservatives until I hear full-throated rejection of bigoted policies, and right now, all I hear is bitching about “woke this” and “DEI that”.

Wasn’t this the one where the whole reason they chased the perp is because he disrespected the cops?

Welp, you owe me a new screen for the coffee I spat out.

That was funny. Well done.

The United Church is really, really progressive. This shouldn’t come as a surprise.
